MSBI Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Midland States Bancorp is projected to experience an improvement in credit costs through 2026/27, with the MEF portfolio contributing to a reduction in non-performing assets. The company's recent dividend increase of 3%, coupled with an expansion in net interest margin to 3.79%, reflects strong financial health and a commitment to shareholder returns. Additionally, the anticipated boost in common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital supports a stable capital position, indicating a positive outlook for the company's growth and operational efficiency.
Bears say
Midland States Bancorp experienced a significant deterioration in its loan portfolio, with loans held for investment (HFI) declining by 3% sequentially in the third quarter, primarily driven by a conscious reduction in equipment financing and higher payoffs in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Additionally, total deposits saw a notable 6% decrease, reflecting a substantial drop in brokered deposits, which fell by 59% quarter-over-quarter. The company's outlook for loan growth remains negative, with expectations of a continued sequential decline of 1%-3% per quarter, raising concerns about future revenue generation and profitability.
